Thanks to our friends at Thames & Hudson Publishers, we’re giving away 3 copies of ‘The Staircase’. This extraordinary book showcases the astonishing diversity of staircases over the centuries and from all more than the world, from the stepped pyramids of the Maya to the pc-aided designs of these days.

The authors also explore the magical and symbolic meanings of the staircase. Strong emblems of technological and artistic achievement, these staircases are inherently dynamic – as is every single page of this fascinating and beautifully illustrated book.
